Rava/Semolina/Sooji Pudding

                           
Since childhood I loved sweets and any kind of desserts. My mother, who was a teacher is an excellent cook and along with all her school work she would make sure to bake cakes and sweets just for us kids specially during special occasions. We used to wait for Christmas, Easter, and birthday's to get that special dessert prepared by mom. My passion started dates back to when I was in school but never got an opportunity to bake bake..When I got married and decided to be a home-maker I got all the free time to experiment and test my ability for baking!!

So my very first recipe would be definitely one of my mother's famous Pudding!! I remember this as something me and my sister used to cherish having. It is very simple recipe with simple ingredients. Never do I get to click a proper image of this wonderful dessert, before I do it just gets over. Well I have added few images which I could click as fast as I could.

Home-Made Nuts Powder

Home-Made Nuts powder is something which I have been making since Jeremy was a 9 month old. Initially to introduce nuts, I used to powder each nut separately (one day each) and mix with every food. As he grew older I realized he hates whole nuts especially Almonds and Pistachios. Cashews are still ok with him provided they are salted ones. But still he wasn't consuming much. Thats when I decided to continue making the essential and important nut powder. He hates the fact that nuts or chunky powder has been added and just rejects the whole meal even though its tasty and likes it. But this fine nut powder is a winner and I add it up in almost everything on a daily basis.  So this nut powder is perfect for fussy kid like mine or if you just wanna introduce nuts to your kids diet, this is a good solution.

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt
